I'm just not a fan of React Native mobile apps (same with rocket chat). Specifically Android, they are large and slow.
I recently looked into an online banks APK (also some JS framework) and there was one 100k line JS file with hundreds of lines of "if IOS" in it, on android...
- rvz 6y agoI have no problem with any chat apps written in React Native. I've used Discord's mobile app and haven't heard of any complaints from anyone using it and the 4.5 to 5 stars from its users on iOS and Android show this. Their Electron desktop apps however, just like the rest of the chat clients from Slack, Element, Keybase, Zulip, Rocket.Chat are a complete horror show. Feasting on my poor MacBook's RAM and disk space like an all-you-can-eat-for-free buffet until the disk and RAM is full. Waste of resources for a chat app on the desktop. With Mac Catalyst, there is no excuse for this carnage on macOS. Other solutions are less mature but I would rather have React Native maturing on the desktop for Mac, Windows and Linux as an alternative to Electron.
